The perfect place to relax in the beautiful Shropshire countryside near Shrewsbury, the Shropshire Hills and the Welsh Borders and get away from the pressures of modern day life. Barley Mow House stands in 2 acres of gardens and pastureland with a large car parking area.

We are 1/4 mile from the nearest main road in a quiet rural setting 10 miles west of Shrewsbury beside the Stiperstone Hills and the Long Mountain and close to the Welsh border. Barley Mow House started life 400 years ago as a 17th Century farmhouse built from local stone with several outbuildings A Malt House was added some 200 years later, along with the Georgian front, and served as a public house until 1991 when it was tumed into a beautíful private house. The house is set in an acre of garden, with a 1 1/2 acre of field.

Aston Rogers is a small hamlet with a scattering of houses and two farms on what used to be the old main road from Westbury to Worthen. . To the north we have the Long Mountain with the derelict site of Caus Castle on a high ridge overlooking the hamlet and valley. To the South-west we look onto the ancient hills of the Stiperstones and Callow Hill. Situated on the border with Wales, the surrounding area is one of both outstanding natural beauty and historcal interest. For those who enjoy walking and the great outdoors, we are a short drive away from the Stiperstones National Nature Reserve, famous for the "Devil's Chair" at its rock-strewn summit. Explore the newly-opened Leadmines at Snailbeach. Alternatively, for a sporting day out, why not try your hand at shooting on the nearby Minsterley Ranges.
